The 20-time Grand Slam champion might have been away from the sport for a few months, but given his professionalism in adapting to the different conditions is what makes Nadal a legend of the sport. The top-seed has indulged in intense practice sessions at the Citi Open, owing to which one would expect him to get into the groove at the earliest. The Spaniard enjoys his time on the North American circuit, ahead of the US Open and given his history, he is going to be the top favourite to win his maiden title in Washington.

On the other hand, Sock comes into the match after Yoshihito Nishioka retired in the opening round, despite being a set up. The American has been gradually decline on his level, owing to which his ranking too has significantly dropped. The 28-year-old was downed in the second round by fellow American John Isner in the Atlanta Open, last week. Considering the rough patch of Sock, it is tough to see him making any impact this week in Washington.
